John 8:14-24

14 Jesus answered and said to them, "1Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know 2where I came from and where I am going; but 3you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
15 "4You judge according to the flesh; 5I am not judging anyone.
16 "But even 6if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
17 "Even in 7your law it has been written that the testimony of 8two men is true.
18 "I am He who testifies about Myself, and 9the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."
19 So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; 10if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."
20 These words He spoke in 11the treasury, as 12He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because 13His hour had not yet come.
21 Then He said again to them, "I go away, and 14you will seek Me, and 15will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot * come."
22 So 16the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, '17Where I am going, you cannot * come '?"
23 And He was saying to them, "18You are from below, I am from above; 19you are of this world, 20I am not of this world.
24 "Therefore I said to you that you 21will die in your sins; for unless * you believe that 22I am He, 23you will die in your sins."
